“Loved it”

I actually went here in August 2012 but wanted to just do a quick review as I really liked the place. We were travelling from Las Cruces to Phoenix and decided to stop in Benson for lunch.

Husband and a friend ate here one night and 'bland' is the best word to describe this food. Nothing special. Seems to always be busy at lunchtime, however, for dinner he and his friend were the only ones there at about 6 p.m. Service ok but too many other choices in the area to return here.

Mom and I had burger specials meat not greasy fries like home made at mom's Lots of cars say a lot about a place slightly off the center of town. I saw burros and other Mexican food that I wished I had tried. I have to go back to Benson tomorrow and hope to dine there again.. Mixed and matched...

the food is very good in this little cafe- family owned and run, the teenage son may be your server and the other children fill your beverages. it takes a little long to get your food and i don't recommend take out, as they don't take a lot of care with it.
